Memorial Day is our country’s annual tribute to fallen heroes who have died while serving in our military. In good times and bad, in war and in peace, we are indebted to all of those who have served our country.
Where I live, in Falls Church, Virginia, the city will once again be hosting its annual Memorial Day parade. We are just a few miles from Arlington National Cemetery and downtown D.C., and all weekend we see and hear many motorcycles here for Rolling Thunder – we love to visit the bridges over Route 66 on Sunday to see and hear the bikes rumbling towards the Pentagon parking lot to gather for their parade into Washington.
Here are a few Memorial Day themed trademarks (click on trademark or image for USPTO record):
